Before him is a dark wooden block with yellow paste, a stone mortar and pestle, bundles of green herbs, a wicker basket, and a small brass deity figure holding a lamp.

He wears a large black turban with a white crescent ornament, a gold chain, and multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and arms. Before him on a striped cloth is a fire burning in a clay bowl, with a stone grinding slab, a wicker basket, bowls of herbs and a brass figure of a deity murti in the background. The man appears to be grinding or preparing herbal medicine by the fire, a fire-offering style preparation. Dense green foliage fills the background in dim evening light. The probable Swamiji is shown in an appearance-based label with turban, crescent, rudraksha malas and ornate chain cues, and is seated in a preparation role.2017-09-14 +1 copiesPhoto 11706529 +2 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesA photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver chair with a tiger-striped cushion, eyes closed, in a meditative posture.
